That is not for you to judge - having absolutely no knowledge of what it takes to operate a train safely. There were several different ways in which the situation could have been handled. In your fanciful version, you chose the least appropriate one - and then you wonder why rail personnel really don't like foamers.

The original thought was not that terrorists would be photographing or videotaping - but that they might be able to exploit the photos or videos taken by buffs for their own purposes.

I doubt that you are correct.

Well, considering that you have no first-hand information on which to base your speculation whereas I do, I'd suspect that this is just another one of those cases where you are speaking without knowing what you are talking about. Of course, we've come to expect that from you so don't feel to bad.

Whether it's "not for me to judge" or not, I think we can say that getting on a train can't count as "distracting" the T/O, given that if the opposite were true, then there would be no subway system. That leaves holding up a camcorder while standing on the platform just beyond the stop marker while the train is stopped in the station with the doors open as "distracting the T/O." I stand by my previous statement that any T/O who is distracted to the point of being unable to operate safely by such a thing should not be a T/O.

As I said to Ron In Bayside, if you can come up with a better course of action, I'll implement it next time.

Anyone can get distracted by anything. Train Dude was specifically talking about a distraction that would be a violation of 1050. There's no way in the world that Nilet's normal and permitted use of a camcorder on the platform would get him a summons for that violation, even if the T/O was totally and absolutely distracted by it. So your response is irrelevant to the thread.

OK. Next time I'll do that, assuming the negotiations for how much TD and/or Ron will pay me to compensate for the delay and inconvenience of waiving my right to take pics are productive. At ten-minute headways or so, the wait shouldn't be that bad. I'll take $2 plzkthx. :)

OK, being serious now, is getting off and waiting for the next train really the best response when you step on board only to be immediately confronted by the T/O and told that photography is illegal? With or without saying something or showing 1050.9(c) first?

If I'm getting on at a terminal (or have the chance for some other reason), I usually like to say a few words to the T/O, just to be friendly and avoid being labelled "suspicious." Some time after this encounter last Friday, I rode an put-in which hadn't been cleaned before it was laid up after the morning rush and helped the T/O clean out the first car while we were waiting to leave. Being friendly helps avoid being irritated by crew or cops later, and it also helps in and of itself just to be friendly. However, if I'm confronted by a T/O the moment I board and told specifically that photography is illegal, there's not much I can do.

For whatever reason, it seems that if the story told by nilet was true (and I still doubt it in its' entirety) his activities may have been distracting to the train operator.

For purely prudential reasons, complying with the request would have been best. Perhaps follow-up, if there's time, about what about it's specifically distracting is helpful too. E.g., a certain position could be reflecting blinding light into the cab, etc. NYCT is entitled to ensure safe operation of its trains.

Like many other incidents in life, even if the train's engineer was, in fact, being an ass - let's say for the sake of this paragraph that she was - then so what? We turn away from assholes everyday. The solution to being asshole isn't to be an asshole; otherwise the world would be full of assholes very quickly - assholes are great at provoking responses.

A little runt of a kid ran into me exiting the train, today, because he was in a such a hurry to get in that he couldn't be bothered to wait for people to first alight the train. I'm fairly sure that I could have easily elevated my elbow slightly to cause him a not insignificant amount of pain such that he was thrown back. But what does that prove? That I have time to waste arguing with a piece of crap like that? Hardly. People who behave like that eventually get what's coming to them, anyway; you don't have to believe in karma or anything like that - stupidity and arrogance invite more stupidity and more arrogance.

So you want my advice, Mr. Nilet? Walk away. Try to understand what the engineer's concern was, but even if it's a stupid reason, so what? Is it worth wasting your time on? But if you do judge it worth your while, then don't sit here and chat about it, especially with no proof of your allegations. Go pursue your right if you really think you were right and can prove it.

I thought that saying "think again" meant that you think that someone is wrong?

Its not here its all over the country..

Not a "localized" thing..


The trouble in NY is that photography is in fact not categorically banned. For whatever reason, some employees seem to think - I have to guess because they themselves have been taught that by supervision and supervision's supervision - photography is categorically not allowed.

But this defect is easily corrected, and there's really no reason why it shouldn't be, while instructing people who photograph the system proper behavior.

Perhaps follow-up, if there's time, about what about it's specifically distracting is helpful too. E.g., a certain position could be reflecting blinding light into the cab, etc

Irrelevant to this case. He was on the platform. He boarded. He was immediately told that photography was not allowed. He did absolutely nothing wrong, nor anything that can be construed as wrong.

Sorry, I should have added that there is no reason to not give Nilet the benefit of the doubt. He has been posting here for what, two years now? He has been to several railfan events. He has been seen in person by several people here on several occasions. And through all of that, no one has ever shown him to lie about anything, nor has anyone ever claimed to have seen him do anything that violates any of the rules of 1050. So besides the fact that Train Dude and Ron like to make unwarranted personal attacks, what reason is there for any of the rest of us to doubt his story and start exploring alternate scenarios? If there is a good reason to doubt his story, then sure, go right ahead! But I haven't seen that good reason. No one has even proposed a good reason.

OK...

But like I said, there's no reason to doubt him and start making up alternate scenarios.

Yes. But I assume Dutch was talking about people on this forum, and they are mostly concentrated in the NYC area, so....

Irrelevant to this case.

Because?

He was on the platform. He boarded. He was immediately told that photography was not allowed. He did absolutely nothing wrong, nor anything that can be construed as wrong.

I didn't realize that you are a witness to the incident in question....

The world is a complicated place. Speaking casually in absolute terms strikes me as misguided. In fact, we could quickly resolve this dispute if we had all sides of the story and all available evidence. Since we don't, it's a bit premature to talk as though as a matter of logic, Nilet could not have done anything wrong.
